Voter turnout across New Hampshire — where Senator Jeanne Shaheen is locked in a tight race with Scott P. Brown — is so high that it could set a record, says Bill Gardner, the secretary of state.
In Londonderry, in southern New Hampshire, traffic began jamming the roads leading to the polling place at the high school by 7 a.m. More than 100 people were lined up to vote then, said Cindi Rice Conley, the town moderator. Normally, she said, only 5 or 10 would be waiting.
By 2:45 Tuesday afternoon, more than 4,700 people had voted. In 2010, a total of 8,300 people had voted by the end of the day. The record turnout for a midterm election was set in 2010, with 461,000 people.
I am hearing that the exit polling is saying that the right track/wrong track number is 31 right track, 65 wrong track. In 2010, it was 35 right track.
I sincerely doubt that record turnout is people wanting less freedom, more expensive healthcare, more imported deadly diseases, more beheadings and less lunch on their children’s plates at school.
is it possible that the turnout assumptions are completely off? That would be unusual for the pollsters to miss signs of it ....
That worries me. The unions can bus their criminals in from other states to vote in NH, and they don't have to be back in time to vote in their home states as they would in a presidential election year. I'd guess the out of state union vote will hit record levels this year in NH.
